The OVW Hardcore Championship was contested in Ohio Valley Wrestling, by men wrestlers.
The championship was first established on June 23, 2000.
This title was only defended in a hadcore, extreme rules, street fight or any other no disqualification wrestling matches.
Unlike other wrestling titles, this championship was represented by a trash can unlike a wrestling belt.
The OVW Hardcore Championship was retired on June 1, 2001, with the final champion being Randy Orton.
A similar championship, the OVW Anarchy Championship, has been later introduced, which does not share the lineage with this title.
